FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While the cushioning system is inspired by marathon shoes, they are primarily designed for comfort and style. For serious marathon training, consider ASICS models specifically engineered for competitive running.

What is the primary inspiration for the GEL-Kayano 12.1 design?

The design is inspired by the structural, metallic properties of European gothic armor and incorporates iconic design details from the 2006 version of the GEL-Kayano 12.1.

How do I clean the synthetic upper and leather overlays?

Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For leather overlays, use a leather conditioner periodically. Avoid harsh cleaners on both materials.

What is the benefit of the open mesh underlays?

The open mesh underlays are designed to improve airflow, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during wear.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and construction.

What is FLUIDRIDE™ Cushioning?

FLUIDRIDE™ is a midsole technology that provides a combination of lightweight comfort and responsive cushioning, offering an energetic feel with every step.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

The product information indicates this specific model is in 'White / Graphite Grey'. Availability of other colors may vary by retailer.

Troubleshooting

Fit feels too tight or loose

Adjust lacing to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

The GEL™ and FLUIDRIDE™ cushioning are designed for durability, but performance may gradually decrease with extensive use. Consider replacement if significant comfort loss is experienced.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components or moisture. Try wearing thicker socks or ensuring the shoes are completely dry.

  • Unique aesthetic inspired by gothic armor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: Suitable for general wear, walking, and light training activities. Not intended for specialized high-impact sports.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For synthetic materials, mild soap can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Leather Overlays: Condition leather overlays periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain their appearance and prevent drying.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed to maintain grip.
  4. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
